Begging Bowl Blues
Intro
E5 , F#5 , A5 , B5 X 6
E5F#5
Windy old head
A5B5E5F#5
I sang along with the words that she said
A5B5
Happy and bad
E5F#5
"Where goes the time?"
A5B5
She asked me once
E5F#5
Oh and if you don't mind
A5B5
Give back my heart when you go
E5 , F#5 , A5 , B5 x2
E5F#5
Begging bowl blues
A5B5
Wrapped round my head
E5F#5A5B5
Like a fistful of news nobody reads
E5F#5A5B5
Me and her name I can't recall
E5F#5A5B5
I was never the same after she left me
E5B5E5
And oh I missed her so
B5E5B5E5B5
Never thought much of her reason to go
E5B5E5
And well, she cast a spell
B5E5B5E5
Under I fell in a useless hello
Bridge.
A5 , B5 , E5 , C#5 x3
A5 , B5 ,
E5 , F#5 , A5 , B5 x4
E5F#5
Useless old day
A5B5E5F#5
Wishing the hours would take me away
A5B5
Just for a while
E5F#5A5B5
Nobody's crook, stealing an answer
E5F#5A5B5E5
Oh why does he look drunk as the day he was born?
B5E5B5E5B5
Ragged and torn, lives for the money these days,
E5B5
What a joke
E5B5E5
And once, twice is a sin
B5E5B5E5
Couldn't get in with the elegant folk
A5 , B5 , E5 , C#5 x4
A5 , B5E5C#5A5B5
I cannot wait any longer
E5C#5A5B5
And I cannot claim to be free
E5C#5A5B5
Whenever it seems like I'm losing
E5C#5A5B5
The begging bowl blues follow me
E5C#5A5B5
And she cannot say that she's happy
E5C#5A5B5
And I cant be sure if I care
E5C#5A5B5
I got wrapped up in the money
E5C#5A5B5
And the begging bowl blues kept me there
E5 , C#5 , A5 , B5
Repeat to fade
